Work from Home Memes Everyone Can Relate to
Travel to work
Commuting is one of the essential fragments in the day of almost every employed individual… or it was. When working from home, all you need to do to reach your workplace is stroll slowly from one part of the apartment to another:
However, if you have no inspiration to perform productively without the usual morning haste, rush-hour traffic jams and commuting routines, you can always improvise by all means available:
Online meetings
Unless you’re an independent entrepreneur and work in the team of one, everyday communication with colleagues is an integral part of your professional reality. If so, you’ve probably had some video conferencing experiences when telecommuting at quarantine, and there are quite a few memes on the Internet you can relate to:
Of course, your regular at-office conference sessions have nothing in common with online meetings during which you can be comfortably settled down in your bed and wear nothing but underwear or a sleeping attire while invisible to the eyes of the snooping teammates:

WFH looks
Continuing the theme of the remote work dress code, nothing prevents you now from trying out your dream looks and turning into a home office queen:

However, when there is an important job to do and the deadline is near at hand, a rare human being will have enough patience to calmly deal with their little fidgets. Thus, particularly knackered parents are allowed to resort to extreme measures:
Productivity issues
Even if you have no children to distract you from important stuff at your home office, there are plenty of other things that are likely to entice you to slack off a bit and forget about your job, at least for a moment or two. After all, how can you even manage not to close your eyes and let the comfort of the sofa envelop you when the supervisor isn’t watching?
What if…?
Telecommuting has become mandatory during the coronavirus outbreak, and since you’re still reading this article, it’s a high chance that you’re among the lucky ones who continue to do their jobs from their hiding places:
However, by far not every type of occupation can be transferred into the remote work mode. Even if they’d try, the sight would be majorly comical:
Leave time
At last, let’s talk about every worker’s favorite side of employment – time off. We believe that leave days are as important as work itself, and there’s nothing wrong in savoring an occasional short-term leave once in a while. But what about holidays? Sad but true, if you planned a vacation trip for spring this year, the closest you now can get to that long-awaited experience is probably going to look something like this:
Well, let’s just hope everything will come back to normal very soon. But until then, stay home, stay safe and have fun browsing for WFH memes.
